  • It’s almost poetic Robert. Made me feel a touch melancholic even. Except for the bit about you without trousers. I imagine you actually took a very long time to get to our bathroom from your bedroom, and you […]

  • We congratulate @teacraft aka Nigel Melican on “being awarded the D.N Borbora Chair for Tea Quality and Manufacturing at the Tea Research Association of India.” See more in World Tea News here: or for more info on the research station itself you can go to an older article here. There are a couple of other sites directly related to the station but…[Read more]

  • Ha ha, “one might say this is a very relaxing tea”. @iheartteas does look pretty laid back 😛 Oh, how I know about the troubles with frozen screens etc. I am looking forward to that happening less in the winter. I […]

  • Tea first thing in the morning, with or without breakfast is an absolute must for me. The rest of the day is just perfect for all the other cups of tea.

  • Sounds like a fun evening. Does the Puer not overpower the pouchong? Sounds like it might?

    Ha, enjoyed this and watched it to the end. Not quite sure where it was going but kudos to the young’uns who made this. Turning into a tea bag would be anyone’s nightmare, right @thedevotea?!

    I love this concept. Love the van, wish we had one too. Either our own or one to go to for a quick (but fine) cuppa. With a crumpet.

  • Nice to hear how their family name is pronounced and also to see the garden. We’ve had a couple of Dokes and we really liked them.

  • @xavier that is a brilliant question, no doubt we’ll see a blog post about it at some point. Anyway, always good to start the day with one of Robert’s entertaining new posts.

    Of course it’s suspicious. Who on earth would really want to drink Chai, ha ha. Except @thedevotea‘s. His happens to be good.

    Only in New York City. Or well, maybe not only there. Anyone wants to take up his offer?

  • Interesting post by Melody pondering the question whether “Teavana (will) replace Tazo Tea inside Starbucks Stores?” My guess is; yes and not only inside Starbucks stores. I don’t think there’s room for both brands because not enough distinguishes them. As mentioned in a recent forum post, the Tazo store in Seattle has already closed, and…[Read more]

  • What a nice surprise – hadn’t expected to be mentioned in your blog post. Just had my cup of tea ready while spending a lazy Sunday morning on the sheets, and saw this. It made me smile. And wish we could get […]

    And in the UK the tea drinkers move on to other (not better) drinks. Chamomile tea? Shudder.

    • green tea-bags? 🙁
      And do they really believe in the health thing? If there was some kind of miracle product, we would all be drinking/eating it for ages…
      It reminds me of this story of someone who is celebrating his 100th birthday. The journalists ask him what he did.
      “I never smoked, drank…”
      Suddenly they all hear big noises, things being t…[Read more]

    • Is it better than other research made in other parts of the world? Australia had a good one if I remember well (or should I say if I remember well what @thedevotea said :P).

  • Just saw that @iheartteas posted this on G+. I don’t really use G+ much these days but that was some interesting piece of (World Tea) news.

    I love it when you take us on your tea journeys with you. Wonderful pics and interesting info. Say hello to David from us when you see him next time. Haven’t spoken to him for ages. I didn’t even know PDX Alliance […]

    You’ve got to see this! Female contortionist steeps up a fine cuppa tea. One for the (Guinness Book) of records:
